What a great move I. This family classic is a wonderful example of just how talented of a actor the late Mickey Rooney was. This heart warming story set in the heart of America, Omaha Nebraska is a great example of true American values.

Absolutely fantastic acting and storytelling! Mickey Rooney shines in this! Very touching and heartfelt story.

One of my all time favorites ..
